NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Chinese officials have been inspecting Indian rice mills to import non-basmati rice, a senior Indian government official told reporters on Friday.

Beijing is also examining India's proposal to export raw sugar to China, said the official who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

China is a leading importer of rice and sugar, while India is the world's biggest exporter of rice.
